《Twilight 暮光之城Ⅰ——暮色》 （中英文对照·完结）

阿汤哥

“我知道。”

“这有什么问题吗？”

我知道，他认为是尴尬让我退缩的。“我猜这一定会让你发疯的——或者悲伤。”

当他思索着这个想法的时候，他的额头皱在了一起。“我还是想要知道。求你了？”

我叹了口气。他等待着。

“嗯……我假定这是某种……场合。但我不认为那是某种平庸的人类活动……舞会！”嘲弄道。

“人类？”他冷淡地问道。他抓住了关键词。

我低下头看着自己的裙子，烦躁不安地抓起一片迷路的薄纱。他沉默地等待着。

“好吧。”我一吐为快。“我希望你也许已经改变心意了……你终于打算转变我了。”

许多情绪在他脸上一闪而过。有些我能辨认出来：愤怒……痛苦……然后他似乎控制住了自己，然后他的表情变得有趣起来。

“你以为这是某种隆重的场合，对吗？”他揶揄着，抚摩着他晚礼服外套的衣领。

我绷起脸，想要掩饰住自己的窘迫。“我不知道这些事情是怎么发生的。至少，对我来说，这比舞会要合理得多。”他依然咧嘴笑着。“这一点儿也不有趣。”我说道。

“不，你是对的，这一点儿也不有趣。”他赞同道，他的笑容消失了。“不过，与其相信你是认真的，我更愿意把这当成一个笑话。”

“但我是认真的。”

他深深地叹息着。“我知道。你真的那么情愿吗？”

================================

"I know."

"What's the problem?"

I knew he thought it was mere embarrassment holding me back. "I think it
will make you mad — or sad."

His brows pulled together over his eyes as he thought that through. "I
still want to know. Please?"

I sighed. He waited.

"Well… I assumed it was some kind of… occasion. But I didn't think it
would be some trite human thing… prom!" I scoffed.

"Human?" he asked flatly. He'd picked up on the key word.

I looked down at my dress, fidgeting with a stray piece of chiffon. He
waited in silence.

"Okay," I confessed in a rush. "So I was hoping that you might have
changed your mind… that you were going to change me, after all."

A dozen emotions played across his face. Some I recognized: anger… pain…
and then he seemed to collect himself and his expression became amused.

"You thought that would be a black tie occasion, did you?" he teased,
touching the lapel of his tuxedo jacket.

I scowled to hide my embarrassment. "I don't know how these things work.
To me, at least, it seems more rational than prom does." He was still
grinning. "It's not funny," I said.

"No, you're right, it's not," he agreed, his smile fading. "I'd rather
treat it like a joke, though, than believe you're serious."

"But I am serious."

He sighed deeply. "I know. And you're really that willing?"

痛苦的神情又回到了他的眼中。我咬住唇，点了点头。

“已经准备好结束了，”他喃喃低语着，几乎是在自言自语。“把这当成了你人生中的暮色，尽管你的人生才刚刚开始。你已经准备好了放弃一切。”

“这不是结束，这只是开始。”我低声表示不同意。

“我不值得你这样做。”他悲伤地说着。

“你还记得你告诉过我，我没有很清楚地看待自己吗？”我扬起眉毛，问道。“你显然有着同样的盲目。”

“我知道自己是什么。”

我叹了口气。

但他敏捷易变的心绪因我而改变了。他撅起唇，他的眼睛在刺探着。他久久地审视着我的脸。

“那么，你现在已经准备好了？”他问道。

“呃，”我吞咽了一下。“是的？”

他微笑着，然后慢慢地埋下头，直到他冰冷的唇轻轻扫过我颌角之下的肌肤。

“就是现在？”他耳语着，他冰冷的气息吹拂着我的肌肤。我无意识地颤抖起来。

“是的。”我耳语着，这样我的声音就没有机会破音了。如果他认为我只是在虚张声势，那他就要失望了。我确实已经做出了决定，而且我很确定。没关系的，尽管我的身体僵硬得像块木板，我的手蜷握成了拳头，我的呼吸很不稳定……

他阴暗地轻笑着，然后把身子移开了。他的神情真的很失望。

“你不应该相信我会如此轻易地作出让步。”他说着，嘲弄的语气里有一丝酸涩的味道。

“女孩可以做梦。”

================================

The pain was back in his eyes. I bit my lip and nodded.

"So ready for this to be the end," he murmured, almost to himself, "for
this to be the twilight of your life, though your life has barely
started. You're ready to give up everything."

"It's not the end, it's the beginning," I disagreed under my breath.

"I'm not worth it," he said sadly.

"Do you remember when you told me that I didn't see myself very clearly?"
I asked, raising my eyebrows. "You obviously have the same blindness."

"I know what I am."

I sighed.

But his mercurial mood shifted on me. He pursed his lips, and his eyes
were probing. He examined my face for a long moment.

"You're ready now, then?" he asked.

"Um." I gulped. "Yes?"

He smiled, and inclined his head slowly until his cold lips brushed
against the skin just under the corner of my jaw.

"Right now?" he whispered, his breath blowing cool on my neck. I shivered
involuntarily.

"Yes," I whispered, so my voice wouldn't have a chance to break. If he
thought I was bluffing, he was going to be disappointed. I'd already made
this decision, and I was sure. It didn't matter that my body was rigid as
a plank, my hands balled into fists, my breathing erratic…

He chuckled darkly, and leaned away. His face did look disappointed.

"You can't really believe that I would give in so easily," he said with a
sour edge to his mocking tone.

"A girl can dream."

阿汤哥

他的眉毛扬起来。“这就是你梦寐以求的？成为一个怪物？”

“当然不是。”我说着，因为他所选择的词语而皱起了眉。怪物，的确。“我梦想得更多的是永远和你在一起。”

他的神情改变了，变得柔和起来，也因为我声音里那种微微的痛苦而悲伤起来。

“贝拉，”他的手指轻轻勾勒着我的唇形。“我会和你在一起——这还不够吗？”

我在他的指尖下微笑着。“现在是足够了。”

他因为我的固执而皱起眉。今晚没有人会让步。他呼了一口气，那声音听起来像是一声货真价实的咆哮。

我轻抚着他的脸。“看，”我说道。“我爱你，胜过这世界上的一切加起来的总和。这还不够吗？”

“是的，这足够了。”他微笑着，答道。“永永远远，都足够了。”

然后他俯下身来，再次把他冰冷的唇压到我的喉咙上。

============================

His eyebrows rose. "Is that what you dream about? Being a monster?"

"Not exactly," I said, frowning at his word choice. Monster, indeed.
"Mostly I dream about being with you forever."

His expression changed, softened and saddened by the subtle ache in my
voice.

"Bella." His fingers lightly traced the shape of my lips. "I will stay
with you — isn't that enough?"

I smiled under his fingertips. "Enough for now."

He frowned at my tenacity. No one was going to surrender tonight. He
exhaled, and the sound was practically a growl.

I touched his face. "Look," I said. "I love you more than everything else
in the world combined. Isn't that enough?"

"Yes, it is enough," he answered, smiling. "Enough for forever."

And he leaned down to press his cold lips once more to my throat.
